Specifies that a person who manumits a slave on account of a fideicommissum enjoys the patronal privilege of not being summoned to court by the freed slave, even if they themselves can be summoned to compel the manumission.
[PAULUS libro quarto ad edictum.]
[PAUL, in the fourth book on the Edict.]
Is quoque, qui ex causa fideicommissi1 manumittit, non debet in ius uocari, quamuis ut manumittat, in ius uocetur.2
He also, who manumits on account of a fideicommissum, ought not to be summoned to court, although he may be summoned to court in order to manumit.
- 2.4.9.prex causa fideicommissi
Meaning "on account of a fideicommissum" (trust). This refers to a case where an heir or another party manumits a slave to fulfill a testamentary trust imposed by the deceased.
- 2.4.9.prquamnis ut manumittat, in ius uocetur
quamuis (concessive) is followed by the present subjunctive passive uocetur. The clause ut manumittat depends on uocetur, expressing either purpose ("in order to manumit") or a request/compulsion ("that he manumit"), referring to the possibility that the heir himself might be summoned to court to compel the execution of the fideicommissum.
